ST. PAUL, October 1.-THE Presi-
Dental party breakfasted together about
9, and in the morning drove around the
city. After the drive the party took
lunch at the Minnesota Club. Large
crowds were waiting at the hotel to see
the party start, and everywhere along
the route were women and children in
great numbers. In the residence part
of the city and everywhere the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland were met with
pleasant demonstrations. The drive
was revelation to Mrs. Cleveland-the
splendid advancement of the city since
she saw it as school girl. At the resi-
dence of Mayor Smith, the President,
Mrs. Cleveland and Governor McGill
stopped few moments and partook OF
refreshments. Mrs. Clevelaad re-
manned at Mayor Smith residence,
after the drive, while the President was
taken to the Minnesota Club, where
members Of the club were presented to
him and an informal lunch served,
Congressman Rice, Governor McGill
and Judge Nelson sitting down with the
gentlemen of the Presidents party.
Mrs. Cleveland was driven down to the
station by Mrs. Smith, meeting the
President there al u 30, when the start
for Minneapolis was made, amid the
hearty farewell cheers of the crowd
gathered. Both the President and Mrs.
Cleveland expressed themselves as
highly pleased with their visit to st.
Paul.
MINNEAPOLIS, October 1.-THE Presi-
dent and party arrived here at pm.
from st. Paul, and were immediately
escorted to the hotel. The streets were
thronged with people, and the party was
accorded q magnificent ovation that
the chill breezes were poWerless to
affect.
When the party arrived at the West
Hotel, lunch was served in private,
after which the party was driven about
the city in carriages until about
O'Clock, when the President was con-
Quoted to the balcony of the West
Hotel, whence he addressed the multi
tude briefly. He highly eulogized the
State OF Minnesota, particularly the
Twin Cities, regarding the re spective
merits of which he said he had be
come confused by the many facts and
figures adduced, but that he had
arrived at the conclusion now "that
if these two wondrous cities are
not satisfied with their respective con-
ditions of growth and greatness, all the
rest of their amazed fellow country
men are; and while the people of the
rival places are twisting figures about
to determine which is the greatest, the
rest of us are pointing to you both as
the best exemplification of what Amer
lean pluck and energy can accomplish"
After the speech the party proceeded
to the exposition in carriages, escorted
by the military bands. They went di-
rectlV to the stand Mayor Ames
briefly introduced the President to the
throng in waiting, and the latter spoke
again in praise or the exposition, which,
he said, gave proof of the prosperity of
Minneapolis. He believed that the
suggestion sometimes made that there
should be more sentiment and less that
is practical in our national life is in
sincere aud delusiYe. The browning
glories OF a government are cities
such as yours; an increase of
trade and commerce; a multiplied,
happy and contented people; increased
production and financial growth. Does
sentiment, and especially sentiment
that mopes over the past and refuses to
look to the future, create these things?
The sentiment that will insure our con-
tinued prosperity will be found in
competition, which shall in
duce the wheat and flour of Minnea-
polls to struggle with the cotton of
Memphis and Charleston. in the race
for national advancement"
AT the close of the speech the party
to the hotel, where an
elaborate supper was served. At 8 !
o'clock, escorted by the military as be-
fore, the honored guests proceeded to
the depot. and took the train for Omaha. !
